1794: bats were discovered to navigate using echolocation, the reflection of high frequency sounds. This discovery became the basis of ultrasound physics.

1942: the first use of sonography for medical diagnoses. An UltraSound beam was transmitted through the human skull attempting to detect brain tumors.

1956: the first application of UltraSound to animals. A "somascope" ultrasonic unit was used to measure the back fat thickness on beef cattle.

Today: an ever increasing number of animal owners expect diagnostic imaging such as UltraSound to be part of the "standard of care". Rather than refer clients out of their clinic, more and more veterinarians are deciding to provide UltraSound in-house to offer a more complete service to their clients and patients while adding a valuable profit center.

Dr. Blount invites you to attend this unique 17 CE Hour seminar presenting practical UltraSound knowledge and options for dogs and cats you can put to use starting immediately in your clinic.

• This seminar is predominantly case based lecture with a short dry lab used to explore exactly how UltraSound plays a vital role in successful diagnosis and treatment.
  
  
• You'll also learn many little known and often overlooked secrets to make sonograms much easier to obtain and read, and then determine how to put the images to the most effective use.
